SLC-S31/W3-“Creative Interpretation| The Theme -“Silence Speaks”

Mary why are you so silent and don't want to speak? Why the sudden silence of you not speaking out loud so everyone can hear you? Your face doesn't look bright and you look moody, my friends who observed my mood said to me.

Sometimes Silence can make good people around us feel bad and start judging themselves especially when as a vibrant person who likes talking you become silent to speak on of a sudden the people around you begin questioning themselves if they have done something wrong to you.

In my case no one did anything wrong to me, it was just a person to whom I couldn't explain myself to anyone. The statement "No one knows your struggle" is a perfect example of why most of the time I choose to remain a silent speaker. On that same day that my friends asked me why I suddenly stopped talking to them was because I recalled the demise of my beloved mother.

The moment that I picture myself and recall my past with my mother, the promises I gave to her, the love she showed to me, and how lovely and caring she was when she was alive I always get cold and unable to even speak out my feelings to others.

Indeed I have lost something big in my life which is my beloved mom. Whenever I sat down and meditated about her, I felt short of words to say than to remain silent and pray for her soul to continue resting in peace.

There was a day I sat down in the midst of people for more than an hour without saying a word other than shedding tears and crying within myself which was the only thing the people around me discovered was that my silence speaks.

What message is being communicated through silence in your piece?

The message of sorrow, pain, and missing someone or someone so special in my life. The feeling of pain and sorrow was the message communicated through my piece which made me unable to speak or contribute to what my friends were saying. It was clearly shown to my friends and they understood me better to the point that they consoled me.

Who is silent in your interpretation and why?

My mom is silent in my interpretation and the reason why is that she is no longer alive and I am missing her presence. We mourn for our deceased ones silently especially when it has been a long time since they passed on. She is silent in my interpretation because of her absence in my life.

What happens if that silence is finally broken?

If silence is finally broken I will be happy. Happiness is what would have replaced silence it is finally broken because a person who is sad due to an issue will become happy if the issue is taken away from the person which is what would have happened if silence were finally broken.
